It's interesting how your work highlights reality by dancing around it. I feel like there are parts of this, and every other thing you do, that I can touch and yet you maintain your distance. Nothing over-rendered, no textures that distort the distance between the viewer and the subject. These are just my thoughts as I wonder what is making me look at this 30 minutes after I first saw it.

Haha it's so cool but strange to see a painting of yours of one of my friends from junior high/high school after having watched and admired your art for so long!It's lovely and looks just like her, especially love the soft muted lighting (:

wow the lighting and texturing is incredible. First time I saw it i thought Its half photo half painted. Only her bright side face looks a bit off, but that maybe because of the painting marks in the bg on the left.
